The PGA Fourball Championship has always been one of the most popular events for club professionals who enjoy the more relaxed atmosphere of the fourball format, but with a significant prize fund, the event also carries a keen competitive edge.
The first ever staging of the championship in 1984 saw two of the North West's finest clubs finish in a tie as Royal Birkdale's Philip Posnett and PGA Captain Peter Hanna and Hillside's Denis Durnian and Derrick Cooper ended all square.
